Abstract

This study is the last part of a doctoral dissertation research conducted with the aim at designing a Soul-Development Model based on Ibn Sina Theory of Soul. The development of this model is done to build a strong infrastructure for an effective learning educational setting based on Islamic Philosophy of thought.  This study utilizes Design and Developmental Research (DDR) approach to design the Children Soul Development Model based on Ibu Sina’s Theory of Soul. DDR that is used in this study is a definite method in designing a new model of the children’s soul development. This method consists of three process of needs analysis, design and development, and evaluation of the model established, and is carried out by following the nature procedures of research and development; exploratory study, the stage of development, testing models and dissemination (Borg and Gall, 1983). This paper will analyse the last phase of the study, which is the evaluation of the designed model namely Children Soul Development Model (CSD Model) based on Ibn Sina Theory of Soul, where 25 respondents that are experts of different fields related to the study are selected to evaluate the model using the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM). The result of the evaluation shows that the CSD Model is suitable to be use as a reference model relying on the consensus of the respondents.
